Living a Charmed Life...!

Yay! Yesterday, Bath and Body Works made their newest fragrance "Charmed Life" available online and in-store. Back in August, they had this event where you could score a free full-sized bottle lotion, and I most definitely took advantage of it. My bestie Ann (http://www.not-justapretty-face.blogspot.com/) got me that, and so did my parents. I'm currently applying the lotion as we speak. I have no bad thoughts on the scent. It's fresh, but it's not too fruity for fall. You mostly detect vanilla, but occasionally you can pick up hints of delicious pear and guava. The body lotion formula we all know and love didn't fall short of my expectations. Just like its family, it absorbed quickly and hydrated intensley. The packaging is a little corny, but I've grown fond of it. I can't get over how gorgeous and modern the perfume bottle is, though! The contrasts between all the colors just make me happy! Anyways, I've been a huge fan of the Body Creams, Body Mists, and Shower Gels, so I doubt the collection will disappoint. Where would a BBW collection be without a gloss? Of course, they created a Charmed Life Gloss that claims to give you a frosty shine with a delicious flavoring of vanilla, pear, and guava. I can't wait to get my hands on this collection and use up my coupon!



Oh, and BBW is already dabbling with their new scent, Be Enchanted. I don't know about you, but instead of clean, appealing, and simple names like "White Citrus" and "Warm Vanilla Sugar", BBW is making everything based off of a fairytale. Anywho, you can try their new fragrance, a blend of frosted florals and sparkling pomegranate  for $1!

Bath and Body Works Contest! Plus, Stila, too!

No, I'm not throwing a contest that features BBW. Bath and Body Works is!

I have some homework to do, but I just wanted to tell you about the contest! With just a few pieces of information, you can be entered to win $500 worth of Bath and Body Works Holiday Products! Now, how cool is that? It requires no money whatsoever. This is my mindset when it comes to raffle-esque things: "Somebody's got to win, so why can't it be you?!". It's true. Somebody has to win, so why not you? If you don't win, Oh well. You can just buy some. Oh, the reason I am so obsessed with winning is because my school's fundraiser is tomorrow. There is a lot of free stuff associated with this, and I LOVE MY FREE STUFF! :D

Warm Vanilla Sugar: Lusciousness in a Bottle:)

After trying one of my friend's hand cream from Bath and Body Works, I  just knew I had to get myself one--or two. These hand creams were the thickest, creamiest, and most luxurious ones on the market! She owned the new scent, "Carried Away", and it positively divine. I was tempted to pick one up with its gorgeous floral packaging, but Warm Vanilla Sugar was just calling my name with its delectable vanilla aromas. I am so glad I got to pick up one! It's scent always reminds me of winter, and cozying up by the fire. I think that vanilla smells amazing and this hand cream just made it even better! You pick up tons of vanilla, but swirled into it are a few woody aromas. I honestly have no clue wahat "basmati rice water" is, but I sure know that I don't pick up any in this hand cream. Okay, back to the texture! This hand cream takes your hands to Cloud 9! You know those thick and rich Betty Crocker frostings? Well this hand cream is literally just that for your hands! It's wonderful! And oh, duh! You're hands are left super smooth. THe bottle looks really small, but truly, you only need a tiny dot to give your hands deep hydration.

Price: $10.00 for 2.5oz of LUSCIOUSNESS:)
